International cooperation and assistance to alleviate
the consequences of war in Croatia and to facilitate its recovery,
G.A. res. 47/166, 47 U.N. GAOR Supp. (No. 49) at 122, U.N. Doc.
A/47/49 (1992).

The General Assembly,

Recalling its resolution 46/182 of 19 December 1991
and the annex thereto,

Deeply concerned about the serious aggravation of the
humanitarian situation as a direct consequence of the ongoing
conflict in the former Yugoslavia,

Conscious of the extensive material destruction of major
sectors of the national infrastructure, dwellings, the environment
and the cultural heritage in Croatia,

Aware that, owing to the constant increase in the number
of refugees in Croatia, emergency assistance and humanitarian
relief should be continued and expanded,

Deeply concerned about the suffering of the victims
of war and of the tides of refugees and displaced persons,

Noting the efforts of the Government of Croatia to solve
the problems of the postwar reconstruction of the national infrastructure
and, at the same time, to solve the problem of refugees, displaced
persons and victims of war within the Republic of Croatia,

Expressing concern about the potential effects of the
deepening of the crisis in the former Yugoslavia in the event
that, inter alia, no rapid process of postwar recovery in Croatia
is established,

Recognizing the importance of the interrelationship
between economic recovery and peaceful inter-ethnic relations,

Recognizing that the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations Children's Fund
and other organizations and programmes of the United Nations system
are providing emergency humanitarian relief assistance to all
areas of the former Yugoslavia, including the Republic of Croatia,
and that such humanitarian aid should be organized in such a way
as to facilitate the recovery of Croatia,

1. Appeals to all States, regional organizations, intergovernmental
and non-governmental organizations and other relevant bodies to
provide cooperation in various forms and special and other assistance,
in particular in the most severely affected areas and with a view
to facilitating the return of refugees and internally displaced
persons to those areas;

2. Requests the Secretary-General, having regard for
the continuum ranging from emergency relief to the longer-term
development needs of the war-torn region, to initiate, in cooperation
with the Government of Croatia, an assessment of needs for the
rehabilitation, reconstruction and development of Croatia, and
to introduce, if appropriate, an international appeal for the
funding of a programme for rehabilitation, reconstruction and
development;

3. Also requests the Secretary-General to submit a comprehensive
report to the General Assembly at its forty-eighth session on
the implementation of the present resolution.
